Max Bill was one of the leading figures of the Bauhaus generation, pupil of Walter Gropius and kindred spirit of Le Corbusier and Mies Van der Rohe. He was a virtuoso designer and creative artist, as his diverse activities as a painter, architect, sculptor, teacher, and designer amply demonstrate. Max Bill was the single most decisive influence on Swiss design beginning in the 1950s with his progressive work. As an industrial designer, his work is characterized by a clarity of design and precise proportions. Fine examples are the elegant clocks and watches he designed for Junghans, a long-term client.
